“The process that’s gone on to get us out, I think, has been pretty inhuman and if you don’t fight for your home what are you going to fight for?” Ms Pearson says.

“If we’d walked away and not fought it would have been even more devastating

“I’ve got a lot of great memories of the place which over time will become more important than the pain.”

The caravan park, once home to about 40 permanent residents, now has only about five people remaining as Thursday’s (July 31) eviction deadline looms.

“Morale’s pretty low for those few of us that are left,” Ms Pearson says.

“A lot of sadness, some anger and it’s pretty emotional for all of us.”

Sixteen former park residents took Holdfast Bay Council to court in April to fight their eviction to make way for a $3 million redevelopment, which will include a swimming pool, new cabins, a playground and barbecue areas.
